CONNECT TO NATURE YOGA AND HIKING WEEKEND

Escape for yoga, meditation, walks and peace of mind

Feb 7th - Feb 9th

For those who like both challenges and chilling out – welcome to the retreat you’ve been waiting for! We’ve crafted a weekend set to thrill your adventurous side, with stunning views as you hike along the Cliffs of Moher, and to soothe your contemplative side, with deeply nourishing vinyasa yoga and mindfulness meditations.

Over the weekend the Cliff walk from Doolin to Liscannor will be covered (weather permitting). You’ll have plenty of time to relax and reward yourself too! The morning practices are warming and invigorating focusing on opening up our joints. We will stretch and lengthen our muscles whilst working through sun salutations and a variation of standing sequences, followed by some gentle back bends and winding down forward bends and hip openers. There will be a strong emphasis on warming up our legs before our glorious hike. Which will help you enjoy the walk even more!

The evening yoga is a gentle but deep restorative practice where we open up the joints and stretch the legs in a lovely calming gentle way. You should expect to float out of this practice!

Drink in the views of the Atlantic Ocean in our glass-fronted studio as you enjoy a restorative yoga class. Unwind in our new wood-burning hot tubs (weather-permitting) as you soak up the surrounding scenery. Indulge in a massage before curling up beside a roaring turf fire. Nourish your body over and over with our delicious and organic produce. One, two, three, ahhhhh…

This is your chance to embrace the outdoors and to blow away the cobwebs while stretching your body, calming your mind and soothing your soul. Leave the retreat having made new friends, explored a breathtaking corner of Ireland and reconnected to yourself on all levels.

Our beautiful glass fronted sauna and Canadian cedar hot tub will be available at all times during your stay

Common Questions

What time is check-in?

Check-in is at 4pm..

My flight gets in earlier than the 4pm check in, can I come earlier?

We will be preparing the retreat centre at that time and if a group checked out that day your room will be not be ready if you are arriving very early. We recommend getting the taxi to drop off your bags and then taking you into Lahinch. We are isolated and there isn’t anywhere to get lunch but Lahinch has cafes, restaurants, shops and a lovely beach. Your taxi can arrange to collect you again later.

My flight arrives a day in advance - can I stay an extra night?

We don’t have guests staying earlier as the centre is not open before a retreat. There may also be a retreat
still in progress. We recommend staying in Lahinch which is only a few kms away and has walking access to
hotels, hostels, B&B’s, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely long beach.

My flight leaves the next day - can I stay an extra night?

We don’t have guests staying an extra night as the centre is closed after a retreat. There may also be a retreat starting.
We recommend staying in Lahinch which is only a few kms away and has access to
hotels, hostels, B&B’s, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely long beach within walking distance.

It will depend if there are others on the same flight. We will not know this at the time of booking.
If you are in a position where you have to pay for a taxi on your own on the way in, it is usually easier to
get back to the airport as you can look into public transport or get a lift with another guest driving past the airport.

Is there Wifi?

We have wifi for guests in our media room, a comfortable room to read, relax and get online if you want to.

Can I get a single room?

We have a limited number of single rooms which are booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Prices are €35 extra per night. Please contact to arrange.

Yes we can, please can you let us know your severe food allergy upon booking.

Is alcohol served/allowed at the Retreat?

No, we are a dry facility but there are some wonderful pubs in the area that we can guide you to and we can also provide you with some taxi numbers.

How do I arrange a massage during my stay?

We are limited for treatments due to having only one therapy room. With a full retreat program there are only certain slots available, for example, on a weekend retreat there are only 3 massage slots. If you know in advance that you would like a treatment please contact us to arrange.

I'd like to book a surf lesson/activity, should I do this before I arrive?

It is a good idea to make sure you can get a place. The details for recommended tour operators are on in the section The Area.

What kind of yoga do you teach?

All our teachers are extremely experienced but each teach their own style. Please see the individual retreats and teacher’s biographies for more specific details.
